FEME Year: 2021 Location: O Lofos, Crete, Greece Type: Bedside cabinet Materials: Smoked oak wood, bronze Dimensions: D35 H48 cm Status: Completed — Design and direction: Block722 Photographer and Image Editor: Maria Siorba Created in a seemingly simple barrel form that has been tweaked and refined down to its smallest detail, this bedside cabinet by Block722, is a technical and design masterpiece. This piece is made of dark smoked oak, featuring two compartments – a lower cabinet with hammered forged bronze pulls and an upper drawer with a pivot opening system. The overall rounded shape was treated with extreme attention to detail, made by hand bridging traditional techniques and modern construction methods. Gently curved edges, butter-soft wood surfaces and ample storage space make this a triumph in woodworking and functionality.
